Win a Cookbook

In our series, "Win a Cookbook," we give you a preview of a cookbook we love, then let you vote for the recipe you most want us a reveal. By voting, you enter to win a free copy of the cookbook. See official rules.

Baked Explorations is the second book from the team behind Baked, a beloved neighborhood bakery in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It gives fans what they expect from owners Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito: classic down-home American treats such as Black and White Cookies, Sweet and Salty Brownies, and--thank the Lord for the breakfast section--Monkey Bubble Bread. But much of this book is devoted to the the lesser-known gems the guys have deemed "Abandoned Desserts." That means straightforward recipes for Orange Creamsicle Tarts and Grasshopper Bars. The ingredients and brand recommendations may be high-brow (Jacques Torres chocolate, fleur de sel), but the duo otherwise exudes a no-snobs-allowed attitude towards baking. (Case in point: they constantly use the microwave.)

Now, you decide: Which recipe should we reveal from Baked Explorations? Click after the jump to see delectable photos that will help guide your decision (or, more likely, will make it harder to choose).
